My Favorite Dollar Tree Finds for Teachers

Where I live, we have Dollar Trees in nearly every city and they are awesome! Everything is $1! This store is a wonderful place for teachers. Keep in mind though, just because something is $1 does not mean it is a good deal. Some of these items can be found cheaper elsewhere, or just are not quality products. For this reason, I am going to share with you some of my favorite dollar tree items! If you do not have a dollar tree near you, you can order from them in bulk, or perhaps a similar style store is near you with similar items.

Artificial flowers and vases to go with them- The Dollar Tree has a huge selection of artificial flowers, and they do not look extremely cheap and tacky. Many of you are probably wondering why flowers and vases are even on my list for teachers. Well, flowers make a room more bright and happy. I like to buy bright tumblers or plastic vases, and make cheap flower arrangements for my room. The kids love it, I love it..and it's a cheap way to add some decor to your room.

Die- Cut Letters and Numbers- For $1? Yes please! Granted, the packs are somewhat small and the letters are also, I find they are still useful for most of your die-cut needs.

Scotch 2-packs of tape - I am sure everyone is aware of how tape can be useful in the classroom, but did you know the Dollar Tree carries 2-packs of name-brand tape for $1? Now you do !

Positive Reinforcement erasers 12-pack- This is an affordable set of erasers that would be great to have to reward students.

180-count motivational stickers- always nice to have!

These are just some of my many favorite Dollar Tree finds. They have coloring books, regular books for reading, flash cards, puzzles, classroom decor and organization, posters, signs, labels, and so much more. What are some of your favorite dollar finds?

Speaking of dollar finds: I have several items (and more to come) around $1 at my Teachers Pay Teachers Store, so go check it out! Among these items are :
